Featuring music 鈥渇rom the streets of New Orleans to the holler of the Appalachian mountains,鈥 The Bumper Jacksons have earned acclaim for their bold yet elegant sound.

Stacey Jones, associate vice chancellor for campus and community events at 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, said the band鈥檚 music has "something for everyone.鈥

 

鈥淭heir sound is hard to describe, but that鈥檚 one of the things that attracted them to me,鈥 Jones said. 鈥淭he lead singer would be playing the violin one song, then put it down and pick up a washboard the next. It鈥檚 authentic Americana that is new and refreshing for our market. The Bumper Jacksons has something for everyone鈥檚 taste in music.鈥

 

The band features Jess Eliot Myhre on clarinet, vocals and washboard; Chris Ousley on guitar, vocals and tenor banjo; Alex Lacquement on bass and harmony vocals; Dan Samuels on drums and suitcase percussion; Dave Hadley on pedal steel guitar; and Brian Priebe on trombone and harmony vocals.
